According to this report, every candidate supports violating the Constitution and giving Israel funding (stolen from the taxpayers of the great U.S.) except for Gravel, Richardson, Kucinich, Paul, and Cox. The United States gives billions to both Israel and Muslim countries. We just fuel the fire. The Muslims hate us because we fund Israel, but we give the Muslim countries the money to stir up trouble and buy bombs! Article as follows:
14 out of the 19 US Presidential candidates have vowed to continue American support for Israel’s occupation of Palestine territories, and five of them also go as far as to support the ‘security wall’ dividing Israel from the West Bank which has been ruled as illegal by the International Court of Justice, according to a policy brief released by the Council on Foreign Relations.
Democrats Mike Gravel, Dennis Kucinich and Bill Richardson are joined by Republican cadidate Ron Paul as the only candidates who oppose Israeli policies.
The position of Republican hopeful John H. Cox is unknown.
Leading Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton and Republicans Duncan Hunter, Mitt Romney and Tom Tancredo have all come in support of the ‘security wall’.
Clinton cosponsored the Palestinian Anti-Terrorism Act of 2006 that deemed the Palestinian Authority a terrorist organization and cut off all U.S. funding until it renounces terrorism, acknowledges Israel’s right to exist, and holds up its former agreements with Israel.
The seven other co-sponsors for the bill included Clinton’s party rivals Barack Obama, Joseph R. Biden, Christopher J. Dodd, and Republicans Sam Brownback, John McCain and Tancredo.
Brownback and Rudy Giuliani insist that Palestinian’s recognize an ‘undivided’ Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel, while hunter believes that Israel should not give up “one inch” of territory.
Democrats Mike Gravel, Dennis Kucinich and Bill Richardson are joined by Republican cadidate Ron Paul as the only candidates who oppose Israeli policies.
Bill Richardson? Yeah, okay: “I can’t figure out where [AIPAC] went wrong 3 percent of the time.

I am a long time supporter of Ron Paul.
However, I am becoming concerned by increasing claims of Israel as a terrorist state. Can some one please cite verifiable news stories that show Israel targeting civilians? That is still the definition of terrorist, isn’t it?
David: Israel may or may not be a terrorist state, it is irrelevant to the fact that we do give terrorist states such as Egypt hundreds of millions of dollars a year to buy weapons to fight Israel with. Israel retaliates. We fuel the fires on both sides.
